Abstract

This book explores the intersections of theology, faith and education and raises questions about adult religious learning in an online world. It asks whether online learning brings a new pedagogy, and if so, then how can Christian educators engage with Internet technologies for lifelong learning in a contemporary church. Part I visits diverse and complex landscapes, which include adult education principles and theory, the philosophy and practice of Christian adult education, and the rise of online education. Part II tells the story of one theological institution’s move into online education and draws upon original research investigation to examine what happens when a programme of continuing professional development in Christian faith and theology goes online.
